Description

With less than a quarter of physics degrees being earned by women, gender equity in physics can seem far away. Yet there has been significant change over the last few decades, and today's young women experience a much more welcoming field than did their predecessors. This talk will present some of the underlying reasons for the lower proportion of women in our field, along with strategies that individuals and groups can use to promote gender equity. From organizational change to daily habits, we all can help physics improve by becoming more welcoming.
